About Marian O'Shea Wernicke​

Picture
Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Marian O'Shea Wernicke was a teacher there as well as in Lima, Peru, Madrid, Spain, and at Pensacola State College, where she was a professor of English for 25 years. Married to Michael Wernicke, they have three children, Kristin, married to Max Benitez, Tim married to Sarah Jasinski, John, and a grandson, August Michael. She has published an anthology of fiction and non-fiction with Herta Feely called Confessions: Fact or Fiction, as well as a memoir about her father, Tom O'Shea: A 20th Century Man. Her novel Toward That Which Is Beautiful ​was published in September 2020, by She Writes Press. It's the story of a runaway nun who has been working in the high plain of Peru called the Altiplano in the early 60's. Why would she leave one day without telling anyone where she is going? Look for this exciting, moving account of her journey, both external as she meets people along the way, and internal as she discovers who she really is.
